buybuy24germany: maybe---but I thoug he is 11 years old and will leave after the 3 round...

Zenabi: in 29 games you've never had all 4 go to the end?

buybuy24germany: I had only 2-3 games with 4 human up to the end, but they were all new players...

buybuy24germany: Maybe you could post also a message in the lobby ?

gtp_tj: very

mikman: lol told ya always host gets it in auctions no matter what

buybuy24germany: pressed "up" 2 seconds before zero

gtp_tj: I believe ya... just doesn't work that way when I host. :)

Zenabi: 1k

mikman: lots

buybuy24germany: 500

Round 10 of 12

gtp_tj: its good to be host

mikman: lol we have a winner

Zenabi: yup, this game really has become rather pointless

mikman: hmm sell back some mules mayeb to keep price down...

buybuy24germany: did you all pressed "UP" seconds before countdown was over ?

mikman: they rae fixing for the next version apparently

Zenabi: it always comes down to whoever hits the line first to buyout the most ore at round 3/4 7/8 10/11

Zenabi: makes no difference how many plots you have, or what's on them

gtp_tj: if u press UP before the countdown is over, wouldn't you be selling?

mikman: yup

buybuy24germany: sorry, I did not know, that host will be quicklier there, but I cant belive it

Zenabi: as long as you have enough cash to buy the majority of the ore, and hit the line 1st

Round 11 of 12

mikman: not your fault, it's an issue that need s to be dealt with by the developers and fixed...

Zenabi: what? just the fact that the host has the advantage?

buybuy24germany: you realy all pressed "up" seconds beofore countdown was over ? Yes or no ?

mikman: ya it's a def lag issue for sure, that and the whole smithore monopoly too needs to be changed

mikman: If I pressed up seconds before I would be selling not buying

gtp_tj: I pressed up as soon as the countdown was over. My screen showed me first to the line.

Zenabi: yup, I always saw myself first to the line as well

buybuy24germany: so thats the problem. You can press "up" BEFORE the countdown is over !

gtp_tj: how do you do that, and not move up to sell?

mikman: how exactly withour switching to a sell postion...

mikman: I still beat buybuy24 to the line from my perspective...

buybuy24germany: it counts 3-2-1

buybuy24germany: before running

Zenabi: just press up, only a little bit

mikman: lol it's up or not, there is no little bit

buybuy24germany: but I was second- will buy/sell to the lowerd placed

Zenabi: you don't get lower than me

gtp_tj: hey... I resemble that remark. :)

Zenabi: so that obviously isn't true

mikman: no worries, there are just some issuse with the game that need to be worked on definately...

buybuy24germany: on the original C64 versin was also a spoilage for smithores

buybuy24germany: If you owned more than 50 , I belive...

mikman: yes there was... that would def help

buybuy24germany: so lets press all "up" at the energy sale

buybuy24germany: 2 seconds before zero

buybuy24germany: ok , let it be

mikman: and you will be switch to a sellers possiont

buybuy24germany: price is too high ;-)

mikman: position

buybuy24germany: 450

buybuy24germany: 450 p/u

mikman: I switched to sellers position whne I pressed up with 2 seconds left in the countdown

Round 12 of 12

gtp_tj: same here.

mikman: price of energy always comes down in the last round.. I think smith is still the better option

buybuy24germany: the first countdown is to switch on sellers / buyers position. Then comes another countdown

buybuy24germany: And then I press 2 seconds before "zero" or "0" "up"

mikman: lol I only see one countday then it says go!

mikman: downtdown

mikman: countdown

buybuy24germany: So thats the problem---

buybuy24germany: Do the other guys also see only one countdown ?

mikman: maybe only the host sees the second countdown... hmm

gtp_tj: yep... 1 countdown, 3-2-1, and as soon as the ----- bar comes up, I hit up/down.

Zenabi: I've hosted and don't know what you mean by the 2nd countdown either

gtp_tj: never seen it

buybuy24germany: now I see the first countdown

buybuy24germany: and after the last noise I press "up"

buybuy24germany: you are right, there comes no new countdown

mikman: as we all do

buybuy24germany: sorry, was my fault...

mikman: no worries, game still needs a few tweaks ;-)

mikman: lol shoulda switched to energy instead of smith

mikman: lol

buybuy24germany: did so...

mikman: good job
